Limit Break Stories is a Limit Break Media project dedicated to promoting and curating inspiring and positive stories. To that end I am also speaking to creatives with different perspectives who are steeped in the art of storytelling in different mediums.

Today our Limit Breaker is Dee McSweeney, Associate Producer, Spotlight On: National Public Television series that airs on PBS stations nation-wide.

Dee’s career goal is to always be a guiding "voice"​ and storyteller for TV programs, radio shows, documentaries or infomercials that teach empathy, compassion, respect, hope, faith, encouragement & inspiration for all viewers, young, old and in between, utilizing her voice-over, singing, world language and storytelling skills. Dee believes that educational television that raises awareness about important psychological and sociological topics that need to be addressed in society, as well as television that "teaches" (PBS, NJTV, CNBC, Sesame Street, Electric Company, Nickelodeon, Disney, The Discovery Channel, The History Channel), is where she wants to be.

A long-time advocate for the deaf community, Dee is currently working on a "first-of-its-kind" television show about deaf community issues. It will be entertaining as well as educational. Dee’s intention is to bridge the communication gap between deaf people and hearing people. She wants to set a new standard for educational television. It is her hope that Marlee Matlin would co-host the show with her. The show will also have a "sign of the day" segment, to help people improve their current signing skills, or teach those who want to learn some sign language, to communicate better with family members, friends and colleagues.
